Stayed in suites del Sol for 9 weeks with a friend in a two bedroom apartment. The apartment was large, well-equipped and cosy, and the staff friendly and helpful. Special thanks goes to the fantastic janitor for all his help after closing hours. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Paseo Montejo and the centro historico. The A/C in my bedroom was a bit noicy, but I got used to it after a while, and then it was no longer a problem. Another, more disturbing element was the school classes having phys.ed. in the concrete hall right outside my bedrom at 6-7 AM on weekdays. They were really loud, and even though I stayed in Merida for work matters and had to get up early, this was a bit too early, and is perhaps not a very desireable experience for people staying on vacation. I will ask for an apartment facing the street the next time I'm staying here, because I will be staying here on my next visit to Merida!

Stayed the month of November and really enjoyed the ample size of the apartment. The location is great, half block from the Pasejo Montejo and few blocks form down town. We plan on going back later this year for more time.

After reading the older reviews, I see a new review is badly needed. No this is not a hotel with a restaurant, fitness center, pool and fresh towels sculpted in interesting shapes like you will get in Playa del Carmen. It is an apartment hotel with a kitchen that allows you to prepare the food you and your family want, when you want and at whatever price point you want. If you don't feel like cooking, there are ample restaurants within a 15 minutes walk.
Some of the older reviews talked about bad bathrooms and even mice. I suspect there has been some renovation since then. We were just there and my only complaint with the bathroom is that the shower water can sometimes be too hot. Also the apartment was very clean: we did not see any pests of any kind.
The suite was very spacious just as the pictures indicate. The beds were very comfortable and the wifi and TV worked just fine.
The location is very nice since it is a block away from the very nice Paseo Montejo with quite adequate restaurants and safe bank machines. Also it is about a four block walk to the Walmart with a really well stocked grocery store and wine selection. Loved the fresh mangoes every day. It is about a 15 minute walk to what is happening downtown but it is nice to be that far away from the night life when it comes time to sleep. Taxis by the way usually run about $3 for a two mile ride and unlike Mexico City you can feel safe when you get in to one. Yes 58th street, on which the entrance is located, is very plain but that is the case with almost any street in the older part of Merida.
Even after paying about $50 for the electricity we used during the stay, we paid for a month what we would have paid for three nights at the Fiesta American. If you are only visiting Merida for 3 to 5 days, by all means find a hotel that pampers you and eat out every night. If you are going to stay, like most of the residents of Los Suites, for a longer stay, then it is hard to beat the value here.

Suites del Sol is an excellent choice for long-term stays in Merida. It has friendly and excellent staff who can help with any issues or questions you may have about Merida from tourist information to practicalities such as post. The apartments and entire property are very clean and well maintained. We rented a one bedroom apartment which included: sitting area with TV, large dinning area, kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, fridge, large water cooler, utensils, plates and cups, bedroom with comfy good sized beds, bathroom with towels and hot shower, AC and good wi-fi connection. They also offer laundry and cleaning services for a minimal cost. The location can't be beat. One block from the more upscale Paseo Monetejo and just three blocks from the histroic Centro (we really love the food vendors at Santa Ana Market just 5-10 minutes walk). It is safe, clean, friendly - all in all an excellent value for one week or four months.
